-I sure lucked out to have this girl live so close to me. Most of our friends are married so we get to experience all of the dating ups and downs together… We need to start a separate blog about dating because it sure is an interesting world.

-Every morning when I was little my mom and I would watch The Price is Right while she was doing her workout on the treadmill at home. Good memories and I hope to play Plinko someday.

-Yeah, I remember attempting to run with one of these when I was 14 and having my songs skip more than actually play.

-It is strange, when I am marathon training I have dreams about loaves of bread.

-I got really excited when I opened my email to see that Netflix had a movie for me to watch… and then I opened it and realized they were recommending Curious George for me.

-I ate a ridiculous amount of Frosted Mini Wheats when I was pregnant with Brooke and she is still in love with them. She asks for them every time we go to my mom’s house.

-Today I had another runner’s pet peeve occur to me. My tank kept riding up the entire run. I probably had to adjust it every .1 miles. I finally just tucked my shirt in and pulled the drawstring nice and tight. It looked really cool.

-9 miles @ 8:34 pace while reading THIS book… I have read Andie’s blog for years. She is an incredible woman and writer.

I love that Run Happy top!
I am currently reading Platform by Michael Hyatt and learning so much!
I regularly remember my dreams and they are usually nuts.
Monday matters: I’m making a new mushroom Marsala pasta recipe for dinner tonight and my house smells so good!!
I haven’t watched price is right in years, but I loved it when I was home sick as a kid:)

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want to play Plinko! I would be terrible at the games where you have to guess the price of the item.

I’ve been reading Beth Kendrick’s books the last few weeks. They are cute and quick reads. I go back and forth between reading biographies and non-fiction to more lighthearted books. I’ve seen that book several times and heard it was excellent, I need to read it!

Oh hey, Bob! Watching that show was a must whenever I was home sick. I also watched a lot of Mary Kate and Ashley movies!
I haven’t read a book since the summer…I have many to read though! I want to make my way through the Iliad and the Odyssey this summer (#nerdlife).
My Monday matters included an 8 mile run, and now I have lots of studying and homework to do!

Ahhhhh…. I took Milton in University and couldn’t get through it. I barely passed and ended up changing my English major to a minor and majoring in Kinesiology instead. THAT is how difficult I find his writing. You are a strong woman to get through those!

I’m reading 80/20 Running bt Matt Fitzgerald right now. So far lots of good info in it!
I totally have mundane dreams about something I want also. I dreamt the other night about shaving so I could wear running shorts.
Monday Matter: I want all the snow to melt! In my mind once it’s March there should be no snow.

My Grandpa used to watch Price Is Right all the time! He would get really upset if he missed it. I’ve been wanting to read Andie’s book. I love her blog and can relate to her weight loss after losing 80 pounds 5 years ago myself.

I’m not going to admit to the books I’m reading at the moment. Which probably makes me sound seedier than I meant, but I am embarrassed. OK – just so you don’t think the worst, I’m currently going through a college romance short novel phase. Mindless fantasy. Maybe I’m having a midlife crisis?!?!?

I think the last dream I can remember was about my dog Angus. He was in a big group of dogs that all looked like him! But I knew which one he was :)

Yesterday (which was Monday for me) I walked to the train station for my commute to work, and it was a really lovely way to start and end the day! I’m going to do it more often.

Hey Tara!! I usually keep it on a 1% incline. For speedwork I do a .5% incline. As far as dating goes… don’t do it until you are 100% ready! No rush! I will have to write a post about the highs and lows asap! Good luck and I am so sorry about your separation!

You’re the second blog I read today that’s recommended that book! I just downloaded the sample and I can’t wait to start. I just started my sisters grave but it’s a quick read so far :)

What was your last dream (that you can remember) about? Do you remember your dreams often?
-I have VERY vivid dreams every night, and feel really renlisting. I can usually remember them for a while and share them with my SO every morning because he has odd dreams as well!

Price is Right fan? What game would you choose to play?
-I just want to spin the wheel and play showcase showdown!

I LOVE price is right! And I feel you on shirts riding up being a pet peeve. That’s why most of my favorite running tops are really loose. It’s such a struggle to find a fitted one that doesn’t ride up and show my belly!

I just finished Mile Markers… it was a life changer!! Now I have Charlie St Cloud and Born to Run for reading. I read more than one book at a time.. it’s kind of like having multiple TV shows that you watch!

Just did the post run power exercises.. they killed me!! But I feel super strong after!

Since we are moving from Boise to Provo in May I signed up for emails from the City of Provo. Just got this one about some type of rally to get a Trader Joe’s in Provo. I’m so sad to be moving someplace that doesn’t have one just down the road :(. Thought you might be interested http://provomayor.com/2015/03/02/casting-call-for-trader-joes-video/

I just finished “Me Before You” by Jojo Meyers and it was fantastic! Not a lot going on this Monday…we’ve got about a foot of fresh snow and I’m still so sore from the marathon on Saturday! Lots of resting and movies :) and snacking of course.

That’s so funny i got the same email with the Curious George Movie. I thought the same thing before i opened it and was bummed when i did. I guess my son has been watching a lot of Curious George lately!!!.

I love your pink top! Right now I am just reading my scriptures and conference talks. I really need to read a book though, and stop spending my extra time at night on social media ha! My hubby loves frosted mini wheats too, but I have got to be honest, I don’t see why people like them so much…..

dating this time around sure is interesting, to say the least! I have a best friend living next door to me who is in the same situation as me (divorced single mom)which certainly makes it that much more bearable and amusing though!

I recommend “Nobody is Ever Missing” by Catherine Lacey.. where a woman leaves her husband and family and NY.. and instead goes to New Zealand in source of a new life. —Even better is “Days of Abandonment” by Elena Ferrante–where a woman and mother to two has to deal with a bit of a breakdown after her husband leaves her for a younger woman.

18 days until SPRING. We definitely watched Price is Right every time that we had school off.. including Spring Break.

In a recent dream, I eloped to Paris in order to marry a man of a different race… apparently our relatives were opposed to the marriage… in reality though, I have no idea where the dream came from because I have never seen the man in the dream.

I am laughing at the Curious George movie because my 2 year old is obsessed with “Up we go” by Lights, and I think we legitimately contributed to a couple percentage points of the total views in the past few months. So much so that YouTube emailed us when her new song came out!

So I don’t want to brag, but my mom was on The Price Is Right. Haha I am the most boring person ever so I always tell people that story. Bob Barker told her she should be the first woman president. She was a flight attendant and made cards with all the prices for every item and had her passengers quiz her. She always says she just knew they would pick her.

I really like reading your blog. It’s a ton of fun! I just finished reading the Elizabeth Smart story it’s really good. Some parts are really hard to read though. Especially being a mom of 3 girls. I loved the price is right. I remember watching it with my grandma all the time and of course I’d play Pinko!!

Runningwithscissors

The Price is Right was the best part of staying home sick from school. Plinko would probably be my game of choice too!
Currently reading The Fault in our Stars. I have not seen the movie and I am about halfway through the book. A bit depressing but also very real.

Hi! We have had an extremely rough winter here in Massachusetts, but love following your Boston training, I only ran it once in 2008 but hope to run it again in my lifetime. I just was wondering if you have any pointers for reading while running?? It always seems to hard, I love to read and don’t get much time to and anything to help with the treadmill blues this winter. So miss running outside!

I want to read that book.. I keep hearing great things! I’m reading Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. So fantastic!! Great read during my cardio sessions but I’m thinking I need to start watching Parenthood on Netflix instead soon:)

Jenni

How can you READ on the treadmill??! Seriously?! I’m bopping around too much to get my eyes to focus – let alone on the small print. I have a headache just thinking of it. It would be so awesome if I could though. In university, I would spend time on the elliptical just because I could read my study notes and exercise at the same time – 2 birds, 1 stone :)

Hi Janae – I love reading your blog. I love the run happy shirt so much I want to order it! Can you please tell me how it is with the sizing…..it says it’s xs/s or m/l – I’m 5’5″ 125lb – just wanna order the right size

I have been reading Andie’s blog for years as well, and I am dying to read her book! Thanks for the reminder. :)

I woke up this morning and my first thought was “I have to fit my run in before my interview” but then promptly fell back asleep. I was rewarded by dreaming that I was driving in a car that wouldn’t break so every time I stepped on the break, I ended up accelerating and driving faster. >_<

I blog frequently and I really thank you for your content.
This article has really peaked my interest. I am going to
book mark your blog and keep checking for new information about once per week.
I subscribed to your Feed too.

I wasn’t able to run in the 1/2 I registered for this week (Dang foot!!) but I was able to cheer on the hubs and our friends. This poor girl was literally holding up her capris with one hand while running, and she was fast, she got a 1:35, but those dang pants. I talked to her afterwards and she said that she had just bought them and hadn’t worn them for a run yet. Whoops.

YES, please!! A dating blog by you two. I have been single forever and need to know how to meet people. The last relationship that lasted longer than a year was 15 years ago!! I’m 36 now. Eek :) I have some wonderful stories… Ha!

During summer breaks I would watch The Price is Right every day. My favorite game was guess the cost – Hi Lo. You had to pick the item that was the more expensive. Also the showcase showdown of course :)

I don’t usually remember my dreams, but last night I know I had a bad one bc I woke up early in the morning. Weird.

I was reading a lot of fiction, but now I am reading a book on being vulnerable bc I suck at it and that may be something that I want to improve if I actually want to have sustainable relationships. Before that was Girl On The Train which was just meh for me.

I have been obsessed with that shirt since the first time I saw you wear it… I found a grey one in the Brooks area at the SJRNR half in October and HAD to buy it. I kinda wish I could wear it everyday ;)

My granny always watched “The Wheel” (Wheel of Fortune, as she called it), and she loved Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? I sat through many an episode of each while visiting her, just hanging out in the recliners. Sometimes when Wheel of Fortune is on now I’ll just leave it on because it reminds me of being with her.

I just started “The Twelve Tribes of Hattie” by Ayana Mathis, after having the pleasure of meeting the author and hearing her read at an event in my community. The book had been on my list for a while, and when she read I was totally hooked. It is a lovely read and I’m so glad I bumped it to the top of my list (which includes, I kid you not, over 200 books! One day, when I stop running and renovating my house, I will read).
